6.24.Â Using iconv

After 2013-10-08 (254273),
FreeBSDÂ 10-CURRENT and newer versions have a native
iconv in the operating system. On earlier
versions, converters/libiconv
was used as a dependency.

For software that needs iconv, define
USES=iconv. FreeBSD versions before
10-CURRENT on 2013-08-13 (254273) do
not have a native iconv. On these earlier
versions, a dependency on
converters/libiconv will be
added automatically.
